With the AdvancedDrill 18 and the AdvancedImpact 18 from Bosch, DIY enthusiasts are now able to screw and drill powerfully, while operating the tool easily and intuitively. The powerful 18-volt cordless drill/driver and combi drill feature a new operating concept: with just one click DIY enthusiasts can now electronically change their screwdriver’s rotation direction – both on the right and left-hand side of the tool. The selected setting can simply be viewed from green LED arrows on the back of the tool. The forward arrow indicates right rotation, the backward arrow left rotation. If the tool goes unused for a prolonged period, it automatically switches back to right rotation direction and thus to the main application. In addition, both tools use self-explanatory symbols to display the correct mode − screwdriving, drilling and also impact drilling in the case of the AdvancedImpact 18. Pre-selecting the speed is also easier: It can be continuously adjusted via a minimum-to-maximum scale. This minimizes application errors and makes work easier. With a weight of only around one kilogram and an ergonomic handle, both screwdrivers fit comfortably in your hand. This compact design is made possible by the brushless motor, which also makes the tools longer-lasting and maintenance-free.

Interchangeable adapters and a new screw holder offer maximum flexibility

The range of applications extends from conventional screwdriving to drilling in wood and metal as well as for the AdvancedImpact 18 to impact drilling into masonry. Both screwdrivers additionally offer maximum flexibility thanks to the tried-and-tested QuickSnap adapters: DIY enthusiasts can use the tools in conjunction with a drill chuck, an eccentric or an angle screw adapter, allowing them to work with precision even in hard-to-reach areas. This includes, for example, loosening screws and screwing close to edges of cabinets or drilling in tight spaces. A new feature is the magnetic screw holder, which can be attached to the QuickSnap interface instead of the interchangeable adapters: This makes inserting and turning in screws more simple.

The drill chuck can now hold round-shank drill bits up to 13 millimeters in diameter and can also be used in conjunction with the angle screw adapter for any application that does not require the use of an impact drill, such as drilling into wood or metal. This allows you to drive screws and drill holes around corners, and can be locked in any one of eight different positions. When using the eccentric adapter, DIY enthusiasts can screw precisely as close as 10 millimeters from the edge. This adapter can also be locked in eight different positions and like the angle screw adapter, it has a hex socket and a magnetic bit holder. The equipment for both tools is rounded off by a bit garage on the base of the tool: This keeps the required bit ready to hand at all times.

A system for combining tools: “Power for All” from Bosch

The AdvancedDrill 18 and AdvancedImpact 18 are part of the “Power for All” battery system, which covers DIY and garden tools. The same 18 volt lithium-ion battery can be used to operate more than 20 different power tools, from grass trimmers to rotary hammers. This enables do-it-yourselfers to do without batteries and chargers that they do not need, and they can save money at the same time.

The “Power for All” logo on the packaging shows which tools are part of the system.

The AdvancedDrill 18 and AdvancedImpact 18 will be available from November 2018. All prices are recommended retail prices including VAT. Subject to change.
